It's actually a preremove problem, not a postinstall problem.  It looks 
like the previous xfig package was missing its preremove script, which 
would have removed the old Fig* files if they were unchanged from the 
defaults.  The new xfig does have such a script, so this shouldn't be a 
problem in the future (assuming you manually copy the default files and 
don't change them).
